Socialism is when the government does stuff and the more stuff it does, the more socialister it is. And when it does all the stuff, then that's communism.

Took me a good five minutes to get the joke, now you guys just have me questioning life.
News | Port city of St. Petersburg, National Republic of Eurasia, is bombed by terrorists. 245 dead, 1,644 injured. The Socialist League of Eurasia, the third biggest party, claims this event was their doing. Eurasia is looking into it.


Petersburg Terrorist Attack | Part 2: The Eurasian Government, tells the SL to: "Shut up and stop spreading misinformation" after finding out the person was actually from Andalusia, who promptly revoked their citizenship.


OOC Events: You've played into our game; Hague’s Game. My turn now. You can't run from me... YOU CANNOT RUN FROM US!

Confession: Back when I actually started posting on these forums (over two years after I made this nation) and began developing Gandoor's lore, I said that every single job paid the exact same wage because I was literally 14 years old at the time and my entire knowledge of communism amounted to 'hammer and sickle' and 'everyone is equal'. (It's also the reason why Gandoor has Russian has an official language because 'Hahaha communism = USSR = Russian'.)

I don’t know if this is a cliche, but are neko (anime cat human hybrid thingy) nations a thing? They seem to be a thing in my region and I was wondering if that was more than a regional pattern.

I feel like they were more common in the early 2010s (around the time of all the MLP nations as well if we dare to remember) but the only ones I can think of that are still about are Catsfern and Las Palmeras

What kind of nations do you see from people who apparently have no idea what communism is? I know the obvious "communism when no food and dictatorship" countries, but I sometimes see apparently communist nations ruled by a monarch, or having a massive dictatorial government that lets everyone do whatever they want, or social democratic/welfare capitalist nations called socialist for some reason.

You could argue Gandoor fits into the latter category but also not since I'm very explicit that this nation isn't socialist in practice (I always say that Gandoor is just a social democracy) but socialism is (officially) the ideological goal of the country.

So I dunno where that would fit.
